Is this the start of the MGGA movement?
According to a Fox News report, Greenland’s center-right Demokraatit party pulled off an upset victory in the country’s parliamentary elections, taking Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte Egede’s party, Inuit Ataqatigiit, out of power
“People want change… We want more business to finance our welfare,” said Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Demokraatit’s leader, according to Reuters. The outlet added that Nielsen said Greenland does not “want independence tomorrow” and would prefer separation from Denmark be based on a “good foundation.”
From Fox News:
Four of the five main parties on the ballot, including the ones that won first and second place, Demokraatit Party and Naleraq, favor independence from Denmark, but disagree on the pace. Greenland, whose population is approximately 57,000 people, currently operates as a semi-autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. However, Trump’s renewed interest in the island sparked conversations about breaking away from the Danish crown.
Prime Minister Egede, whose party failed to maintain control, said in a Facebook post that he respects the outcome of the election and that the parties are ready for negotiations.
Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen congratulated the Demokraatit Party and said the Greenlandic future would face “massive pressure” from Trump, according to The Associated Press, which cited Danish Broadcasting Corporation DR. Poulsen reportedly added that “the future of Greenland is based on what the Greenlandic people and government want.”
The Demokraatit Party saw a major increase in support, winning nearly 30% of the vote compared to just 9% in 2021, according to The Associated Press, which cited Greenlandic Broadcasting Corporation KNR TV.
Trump mentioned acquiring Greenland in his address to a joint session of Congress.
“We strongly support your right to determine your own future, and, if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America,” Trump said, eliciting laughter from the crowd. “We need Greenland for national security and even international security, and we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it… One way or the other, we’re going to get it.”
Trump frequently posts about Greenland on TRUTH Social.
“As I made clear during my Joint Address to Congress, the United States strongly supports the people of Greenland’s right to determine their own future. We will continue to KEEP YOU SAFE, as we have since World War II. We are ready to INVEST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to create new jobs and MAKE YOU RICH — And, if you so choose, we welcome you to be a part of the Greatest Nation anywhere in the World, the United States of America!”
